The water supply valve on my toilet is leaking right at the knob to turn the water on/off.
Can I fix this or do I need a plumber?

James's correct. The bonnet packing nut's located on the stem just under the handle. Close the valve and open it up a bit until it starts to leak. Now snug up the bonnet packing nut until the leak stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHEN!!
Good luck, Tom
